Question
With respect to the following statements, choose the correct answer.
Statement 1: Meiosis takes place in asexual reproduction.
Statement 2: Mitosis produces the sex cells called gametes.
Answer: Option D
:
D
In the case of asexual reproduction, mitosis takes place. Mitosis produces daughter cells which are identical to the parent cell. If a diploid cell undergoes mitosis, it produces 2 diploid cells.
In the case of sexual reproduction, reproductive cells undergo reduction division (meiosis) and produce 4 haploid cells from 1 diploid cell. These haploid cells are called sex cells or gametes.
